A team flush with cap space could offer Caldwell-Pope well over $20 million annually to price out Denver. pic.twitter.com/rY4brySnEy – 4:18 PM

With Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson entering free agency and some concern the team won’t be able to re-sign him, Minnesota has been linked to Kansas forward Johnny Furphy in consecutive HoopsHype aggregate mock draft polls.

Harrison Wind: On Christian Braun’s future and potential to become a starter: “He’s ahead of schedule,” Calvin Booth says. It’s sounded like he’s in line to start at shooting guard if the Nuggets don’t re-sign Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. -via Twitter @HarrisonWind / May 23, 2024
Harrison Wind: Calvin Booth leaves the door open for the Nuggets to go into the second luxury tax apron to re-sign Kentavious Caldwell-Pope if he opts out of his contract.
